NONI MADUEKE bagged himself a second half hat-trick courtesy of Cole Palmer as Chelsea fired to a 6-2 victory away at Wolves.
Palmer’s three assists and first half strike capped off a wonderful afternoon for the England ace, while Stamford Bridge flop Mykhailo Mudryk was hooked off at half-time.
At times it resembled a basketball match, but Chelsea later took control after going into the break at 2-2.
Madueke stunned after taking the game by the scruff of the neck and notching a 14 minute hat-trick after mistakenly sharing an X-rated message about Wolves ahead of the clash.
And THREE feisty brawls capped off the EIGHT-goal Molineux thriller.
